According to AthlonSports.com, UFC president Dana White is now dipping his toes into boxing promotion.
With Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford already set into motion, with Dana White’s addition, the bout has somewhat turned into a bit of a global spectacle.
It has also become one of the most anticipated fights of the year. Fans excitement for a battle between boxing’s main contenders has climbing.
The countdown to the main event is on.
Today, Dana White made a huge announcement via X: ‘Turki wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing, and this is right up my alley. Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I’m going to get to promote is Canelo vs. Crawford? It’s literally a once in a lifetime fight. Live on Saturday, September 13, streaming globally on Netflix, two of the GREATEST boxers in the sport will meet in a historic fight from Las Vegas.’
The pairing of the fight scheduled to take place on Mexican Independence Day and streaming on Netflix elevates the fight to another stratosphere.
Citing the numbers for viewership that Tyson vs. Paul bout that Netflix amassed, White is looking to top that.
This will definitely be a true challenge for Crawford, considering he jumped two weight classes to compete with Canelo.
